Yes, the learning center is only included in the gold version. Did you buy the standard one ? For $40 it should be the Gold one I'd think.
Standard Version is 2450 SP which is around $25, Gold Version is 3900 SP which is aruond $40
If you really did buy the standard version, they usually offer the venues sepeartly after a while so maybe you just need to wait until it's released seperatly. If you do want the gold one right away, I would contact customer support to see if they reimburse you the standard version so you can buy the gold one.
If you did in fact buy the gold version, then the venue should show as downloadable. If it doesn't, you also need to contact customer support.
